1st Month is a SUCCESS!

Hi to all, the first month of dieting is over. I lost 10 lbs more. I have lost a total of 24 lbs so far. I have two more visits with the dietitian. My next visit will be Dec. 7th. The way it is going I should lose another 10 lbs. by then. Claudia was very pleased as how I kept my journal writing every thing that I ate down. I am proud to say that I was able to attend a birthday party and not eat any of the pizza or birthday cupcakes. I do need to get more exercise. I do a little bit of walking and chair exercises. The bathroom scale that I bought has not been giving me true readings and so I am going to send it back, maybe I can get a different one in exchange. We (Claudia, Judi, and I) talked about Thanksgiving and what I will be able to eat. I won't miss out on much. I can't have both mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes, but can do the mashed and about a half cup of stuffing or a roll. I have been making sacrifics and will continue to do so. I have the best support group a person could ask for.
